Not only has everyone been informed about the closure of schools indefinitely due to the curbing of the coronavirus, but many parents, educators and students are also experiencing the current situation in practice.
Students start their homework online in a distance learning format. It clearly doesn’t mean the kids have been given leave. Moreover, in the case of parents with small children, distance learning even means parental involvement.
After the prime minister’s announcement, it was decided on Friday afternoon that schools would be closed from Monday, but it was also clear that switching to distance learning would not be the easiest for everyone and not everywhere. All schools had to reassure their accompanying children and their parents to ensure the conditions for learning. This required an assessment of whether they had the right tools and the internet. In which family this is not resolved, there is a need to help families so that the child is not left out of the distance learning process. The system administrators and IT specialists of the schools will have great tasks in the recent period, as well as the teachers and teachers, as the joint work will result in the implementation of distance learning at the national level.
Institutions where digital distance learning is currently not barrier-free will not be left alone. The companies of the Association of IT Enterprises are developing a support network to provide real help in the transition to distance learning in educational institutions.
Some educators, but not many primary and secondary schools, are also prepared for distance learning. There are educators who have been making friends with digital devices either not at all or just not so long ago, so this new method can be scary for them.
Companies from the Association of IT Enterprises are trying to help create the infrastructure for it as well as prepare educators to learn distance learning.
Not only does the Association of IT Enterprises have to work hard now, but it also requires a lot of work from teachers, system administrators and heads of institutions, broken down into institutions.
